torpedoes.

physical education in the Bagley
building. Miss Louis taught physi­cal
education and social studies in
Medicine Lodge, Kansas, before
coming to Dillon. She graduated

Army-Navy Board
Interview Normal
College Men Saturday
Normal College men were inter­viewed
by a joint Army-Navy board
Saturday, October 3. Dr. Marlin K.
Farmer, who is military adviser on
the campus, was in charge of a r­rangements.

Nothing Wrong
With 1942 “Go”
The “Go” is the thing! Fresh­men,
we guarantee that you’ll
agree with us on that score.
Could anything be more perfect
than a lovely day at Torrey
Lodge—and plenty to eat? Re­ally,
you know I don’t believe
any “feed” could be better!
There was everything that
makes for a successful outing
—although there was not an
overflow of the male species
(we’re getting used to it now),
we did go out for a good time
by ourselves yesterday.
